To reduce
To reduce the risk of
injury, do not permit children to use this
product unless they are closely supervised at
all times.
Risk of Electric shock.
Connect only to a branch circuit protected
by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter
(GFCI). Contact a qualifi ed electrician if
you cannot verify that the receptacle is
protected by a GFCI.
The unit must be connected only to a supply
circuit that is protected by a ground-fault
circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should
be provided by the installer and should
be tested on a routine basis. To test the
GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should
interrupt power. Push the reset button.
Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to
operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective.
If the GFCI interrupts power to the pump
without the test button being pushed, a
ground current is owing, indicating the
possibility of an electric shock. Do not use
this pump. Disconnect the pump and have
the problem corrected by a qualifi ed service
representative before using.
This pump is for use
with permanently-
installed pools and may also be used with
hot tubs and spas if so marked. Do not
use with storable pools. A permanently-
installed pool is constructed in or on the
ground or in a building such that it cannot
be readily disassembled for storage. A
storable pool is constructed so that it is
capable of being readily disassembled for
storage and reassembled to its original
integrity. Do not install within an outer
enclosure or beneath the skirt of a hot tub or
spa.

Always follow basic safety precautions
with this equipment, including:
•Provide suf cient ventilation to maintain
air temperature below the maximum
ambient temperature rating shown on
the motor nameplate. Pump house must
allow adequate ventilation to assure the
ambient temperature remains below
the motor rating when the pump is
operating.
Locate pump on a non combustible
surface. The surface should be hard, level,
dry, well ventilated, out of direct sunlight.
The surrounding area should provide
protection from the elements and allow
suf cient space for maintenance and
service. Ensure the drainage will fl ow
away from the pump. To reduce vibration
and pipe stress, use anchor bolts to
secure pump base to surface. Support the
suction and discharge piping.
Design the piping system to allow the
pump suction inlet height to be as close
to water level as possible. Mount pump
below water level for easy priming. If the
pump must be located above the fi lled
water level, keep the vertical distance to
a minimum. Use short, direct piping to
the suction this will minimize friction loss.
Fire and burn hazard.
Motors run at high
temperatures. Do not allow leaves, debris,
or foreign matter to collect around the
pump motor. Keep ventilation holes open.
Allow motor to cool before handling. Keep
ammable liquids away.
If the thermal overload protection
in the motor trips or if the GFCI trips
determine the reason and correct the
problem before re-starting pump.
Use rigid or fl exible PVC pipe. Ensure
pipe ends are clean and free of any fl ash
caused by cutting. Use the proper glue
for the type of pipe selected.
NOTE: Use a supplier recommended
primer to ensure glued joints are secure.
Many local codes require primer with a
purple tracer to verify primer use.
Consider climatic conditions when
applying adhesives. Atmospheric
conditions with high humidity will
make the adhesive action of certain
glues less effective. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Pool Safety Guidelines
RESPONSIBLE ADULT SUPERVISION
Constant and responsible adult supervi-
sion is mandatory in the pool or spa
environment. Always supervise children
around pools and spas. Never allow a child
to play in a way that could permit the
child’s hair to come near the drain cover.
DRAINS, SUCTION FITTINGS, AND JETS
Keep hair and clothing away from the suc-
tion tting drain cover. Wear a bathing cap
or pin hair up if you have long hair. Current
grates and covers help prevent body or hair
entrapment. Make sure that drain covers
meet the ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 standard.
Safety doors should be installed in all pool
cleaner wall suction lines. Pools or spas with
drain covers that are broken, missing, or not
adequately secured should not be used until
the proper replacement has been installed.
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
A licensed electrician, experienced in
swimming pools and spas, should inspect
your equipment to make sure everything is
properly grounded, bonded, and pro-
tected by proper GFCI circuits according to
Article 680 of the National Electric Code.
DROWNING PREVENTION
Install and routinely inspect fences, self-clos-
ing and latching gates, baby barrier fences,
and alarms. Eliminate incidental routes to
pool including machinery or equipment that
provides a route over fencing into pool area.
INDOOR INSTALLATIONS
Pools and spas located indoors must
comply with ANSI/ASHRAE (American
Society of Heating, Refrigeration and
Air-Conditioning Engineers) standard
62-2001 to ensure adequate ventilation
and safe use.
WARNING SIGNS
Protect your family and guests. Make
sure that all warning signs provided by
the manufacturer, builder, or installer
are displayed according to the manufac-
turer’s specifi cations.
Installation
Shock Hazard! Only
quali ed, licensed
personnel should install pump and wiring.
A professional
trained and familiar
with pool pump installation must perform
pressure tests.
The pump mount must be located away
from corrosive or fl ammable chemicals.
Do not connect the pump to a municipal

water system. The pump is only designed for
pool or spa installation. The pump must be
installed with at a minimum of 2 main drains
equipped with certifi ed anti-entrapment cov-
ers that comply with ASME/ANSI A112.19.8B
standard (see Figure 2). All air must be re-
moved from piping system before operating
or testing equipment (see fi lter manual).
THREADED CONNECTIONS
Use only Plumber’s Seal tape or equivalent
on threaded plumbing connections. Other
pipe compounds may damage threads.
Do not use silicone or petroleum based
compounds.
PUMP PLUMBING
Suction pipe should be as large as or
larger than discharge pipe. Avoid us-
ing a suction pipe smaller than pump
connection. The pump is designed to
accept either 2 or 3 inch suction piping.
Larger diameter pipes reduce noise and
improve performance.
1. Keep the piping as straight and short
as possible, and of suitable size.
2. Avoid connecting an elbow directly
into the pump inlet. A length of
straight pipe will allow proper entry
of the water to the pump.
3. Slope horizontal runs upward to the
pump to prevent trapping air.
4. Use independent piping supports to
reduce strain on the pump.
5. Keep as much of the suction line as
possible below the water level to
reduce priming time.
6. Install valves and unions in the pump
suction and return lines to facilitate
servicing. Valves are also essential for
pump maintenance if the system is
installed below pool water level.
7. Keep all valves fully open during
operation. Partially closed valves waste
energy!
Use Plumber’s Seal tape for making
threaded connections to the pump.
Do not use pipe dope.
PLUMBER’S SEAL TAPING INSTRUCTIONS
Use only new or clean PVC pipe fi ttings.
Wrap male pipe threads with one to two
layers of Plumbers
Seal tape. Cover entire
threaded portion. Do
not over tighten. If leaks occur, remove
pipe, clean off old tape, rewrap with
one to two additional layers of tape and
remake the connection.
Internal - 2 in. NPT
are available for direct
connection to pipe. The suction line is
also designed to accept 3 in. NPT external
threaded connection. For best results use
the larger diameter suction line.
FITTINGS
Fittings restrict fl ow; for best effi ciency
use fewest possible fi ttings. Avoid fi ttings
which could cause an air trap. Pool fi ttings
must conform to International Associa-
tion of Plumbing and Mechanical Offi cials
(IAPMO) standards. Use only non-entrap-
ping suction fi tting or double suction.
PRIOR TO PRESSURE TESTING
Securely tighten knobs, drain fi ttings,
lid, and system accessories
Air may collect at the highest point in
the plumbing system. Normally an air
purge valve is provided with the pool
lter. Consult pool fi lter instruction
manual for air purging instructions.
•Basket lid must be rotated and locked
into position as indicated in Figure 3.
Test system at a water pressure of 25
psi or less
Water Temperature for test must be
less than 100° F
After 24 hours visually check system
for leaks.
POOL PUMP SUCTION REQUIREMENTS
Pump suction is
hazardous and can trap,
drown or disembowel bathers. Do not use or
operate swimming pools or spas if a suction
outlet cover is missing, broken, or loose.
Follow the guidelines below for a pump
installation which minimizes risk to users of
pools and spas.
Ground the motor
before connecting
to electrical power supply. Failure to
ground the motor may cause severe or
fatal electrical shock hazard.
ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION
The pump suction must be designed to
eliminate the possibility of suction entrap-
ment or hair entrapment/entanglement.
SUCTION COVERS
All suction inlet covers must be maintained
and replaced if cracked, broken, or missing.
See Figure 2 for outlet cover certifi cation
requirements.
TESTING AND CERTIFICATION
All suction inlet covers must comply with
ASME/ANSI A112.19.8B specifi cations for
suction ttings for use in swimming pools,
spas and whirlpool bathtub applications. The
product must be tested for compliance with
the standards and the certi cation must be
included with the components.
Single or Multiple Pump Circulation Sys-
tems must be provided with a minimum of
2 (two) suction inlets of the approved type.
Do not install multiple pumps in one
hydraulic circuit. The pump is not designed
to accept output ow from another pump.
Do not allow water to back fl ow through
the pump. Water owing in the discharge
and out the suction during an upset
condition can cause the motor to rotate
backwards. Never attempt to start pump if
shaft is rotating due to a hydraulic turbine
action, this could cause pump to operate in
reverse and damage internal components.
Any pool or spa
should immediately
be closed if the cover or grate is
damaged or missing.
OUTLETS PER PUMP
Provide at least two hydraulically balanced
main drains, with covers for each swimming
pool pump suction line. The centers of the
main drains suction tting must be at least
three feet apart (see Figure 2). The system
must be built so that it cannot operate with
the pump drawing water from only one
main drain. Two main drains must be con-
nected to the pump whenever it is running.
If two main drains run into a single suction
line, the single suction line can be equipped
with a single valve that shuts off both main
drains from the pump. A valve in each
suction line is not allowed.

Electrical
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
is required in the circuit. For size of GFCI
required see manufacturer’s instructions.
Never ground to a gas supply line.
To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical
shock: turn OFF, disconnect the power
at its source, lock out power to motor,
and place a tag on the dedicated GFCI
circuit breaker indicating the power
is to remain OFF before working on
electrical connections.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) trip-
ping indicates an electrical problem. If GFCI
trips, determine the reason for tripping. If
you are uncertain, have a qualifi ed electri-
cian inspect and repair the electrical system.
Verify supply voltage matches the nameplate
voltage. Incorrect voltage can cause fi re or
seriously damage motor and voids warranty.
VOLTAGE
Voltage at motor must be within 10% of
the motor nameplate rated voltage or
motor may overheat, causing overload
tripping and reduced component life.
Verify voltage is correct before applying
power. If voltage does not fall within the
specifi ed range during operation consult
the power company.
The pumps are shipped with motors
wired for 208-230 volt operation. The
3/4, 1 and 1-1/2 HP models are equipped
with a voltage change device for
115/208-230 operation. Refer to the mo-
tor nameplate for 115 Volt hook-up.
GROUNDING/BONDING
Install, ground, bond and wire motor
according to local or National Electrical
Code requirements. Permanently ground
the motor. Use ground terminal provided
in the terminal box on the back of the
motor. Use size and type wire required
by local codes. Connect motor ground
terminal to electrical service ground.
Bond motor to pool structure. Use a
solid copper conductor, size No. 6 AWG
or larger. Run wire from external bond-
ing lug to reinforcing rod or mesh.
Use solid copper bonding conductor not
smaller than 6 AWG (13 mm2) from the
accessible wire connector on the mo-
tor to all metal parts of the swimming
pool or spa structure and to all electrical
equipment, metal conduit, and metal
piping within 5 feet (1-1/2 m) of the in-
side walls of the swimming pool or spa.
WIRING
Follow all national and local wiring codes.
If unsure of code requirements consult a
professional electrician. Pump must be per-
manently connected to a dedicated circuit. If
unsure consult a licensed electrician.
NOTE: All electrical wiring and components
must be selected and installed in confor-
mance with the latest NEC requirements
and local codes. If you are unsure about the
requirements consult a licensed electrician
familiar with the requirements.
Operation
Do not run pump dry. Fill pump with
water before starting motor.
Before removing trap cover:
1. CLOSE GATE VALVES in suction and
discharge pipes
2. RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump
and piping system
If pump is being pressure tested, be
sure pressure has been released before
removing trap cover.
Do not block pump suction. To do so
with body may cause severe or fatal
injury. Small children using pool must
ALWAYS have close adult supervision.
Fire and burn hazard.
Motor runs at high
temperatures, to reduce the risk of fi re,
do not allow debris, or foreign matter
to collect around the pump motor.
Allow motor to cool prior to handling or
performing maintenance.
The motor is equipped with an internal
thermal protection circuit to guard against
overheating. The maximum ambient
temperature for motor operation must not
exceed rating on motor model plate.
PRIMING PUMP
Release all pressure from fi lter, pump,
and piping system; see the fi lter owner’s
manual. In a ooded suction system (water
source higher than pump), pump will prime
automatically when suction and discharge
valves are opened. If pump is located above
the normal pool water level remove ring
and cover assembly and slowly fi ll basket
and pump with water. Clean and inspect
o-ring; reinstall on trap. Replace ring and
cover assembly rotate clockwise to tighten
cover (see Figure 3).
Clamp ring must engage with pump body.
Push down and rotate until internal stops
are felt. Properly aligned tabs shown above
in Figure 3, assure lid is securely clamped.
Failure to tighten clamp ring as indicated
will reduce product strength, resulting in
failure of components, and bodily injury.
Pump prime time will
depend on vertical
distance and length of suction line. If pump
does not prime, make sure that all valves
are open, suction pipe is submerged. Verify
there are no leaks in suction lines. See
Troubleshooting Guid e for further assistance.
Maintenance
All of our pumps are shipped from the fac-
tory with DANGER and/or WARNING labels
already on the pump. These labels contain
a series of basic, yet extremely important
safety messages for the user and bystander.
Regardless of how well these labels are
attached or how scratch resistant or wear-
resistant they may be, it is possible that, in
time, the wording may become illegible
with normal use. Whenever you are repair-
ing the pump, performing routine mainte-
nance, or have the opportunity to inspect
the pump, make sure the label is readable.
If the label is not legible, replace the label
with an adhesive version that is available at
no charge by calling 1-877-278-2797. The
unit must be connected only to a supply
circuit that is protected by a ground-fault
circuit-interrupter(GFCI). Such a GFCI should
be provided by the installer and should be
tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI,
push the test button. The GFCI should inter-
rupt power. Push the reset button. Power
should be restored. If the GFCI fails to
operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective.
If the GFCI interrupts power to the pump
without the test button being pushed, a
ground current is owing, indicating the
possibility of an electric shock. Do not use
this pump. Disconnect the pump and have
the problem corrected by a qualifi ed service
representative before using.
Use only parts supplied by manufacturer.
Similar looking parts may not have suffi cient
strength for safe operation.
The only routine maintenance needed is in-
spection/cleaning of strainer basket. Debris
or trash that collects in basket will choke off
water ow through the pump.
Before attempting to clean basket:
A. Stop pump, disconnect power at its
source, lock out power, place tag on the
dedicated GFCI circuit breaker indicating
the power is to remain OFF, close valves
in suction and discharge, and release
pressure from system.

E. Prime pump (see priming instructions).
DRAINING PUMP
To avoid dangerous
or fatal electrical
shock hazard, turn OFF power to motor
before draining pump. Disconnect power
at its source, lock out the power, and place
a tag on the dedicated GFCI circuit breaker
indicating the power is to remain off.
A. Close suction discharge valves to
isolate pump.
B. Drain the basket housing and pump
housing through the drain plugs.
C. Be sure motor is kept dry and covered.
STORAGE/WINTERIZING
Explosion hazard.
Purging the system
with compressed air can cause components
to explode, with risk of severe injury or
death to anyone nearby. Use only a low
pressure (below 5 psi), high volume blower
for purging the pump, fi lter, or piping.
Allowing pump
to freeze will damage
pump and void warranty!
Use only non-toxic
anti-freeze. Do not
use automotive antifreeze. It is highly
toxic and may damage plastic components
in the system.
PUMP SERVICE
If the pump mechanical seal (reference
numbers 8a and 8b on page 9) starts leaking
replace it immediately to avoid damage to
motor or other components. Pump should
only be serviced by quali ed personnel. Use
only our factory parts.

Troubleshooting
Guide
Read and understand safety and
operating instructions in this manual
before doing any work on pump! Only
qualified personnel should electrically
test pump motor!
WATER LEAKING AROUND MOTOR:
A water leak in the area of the motor to
pump connection indicates a mechanical
seal failure and a shock hazard. Take
pump out of service and replace seal
immediately to avoid damage to other
components and to reduce risk of electric
shock. Refer to pump maintenance
section.
FAILURE TO PUMP: REDUCED
CAPACITY OR DISCHARGE PRESSURE
SUCTION LEAKS/LOST PRIME:
1. Pump must be primed; make sure
that pump body and basket body
are full of water. See priming
instructions.
2. Make sure there are no leaks in
suction piping.
3. Make sure suction inlet is well below
the water level to prevent pump
from sucking air.
4. Lower pump closer (vertically) to water
source or install check valve in suction
line.
Some safety vacuum

(SVRS) devices are not compatible with
installation of check valves. If the pool
has an SVRS device, be sure to confi rm
that it will continue to safely operate
when any check valves are installed.
CLOGGED PIPE/TRAP/IMPELLER, WORN
IMPELLER:
5. Make sure suction trap is not clogged;
if it is, clean trap and strainer. See
Maintenance section.
6. Make sure impeller is not clogged
(follow steps 1 through 7 under
“DISASSEMBLY”, Page 6; check
impeller for clogging; follow steps 7
through 10 under “REASSEMBLY”,
Pages 6 - 7, for reassembly).
7. Impeller and diffuser may be worn.
If so, order replacement parts from
“Repair Parts List, on pages 10 and 11.
8. Pump may be trying to push too
high a column of water. If so, a
“higher head” pump is needed.
Call 1-877-278-2797.
ELECTRICAL:
9. Pump may be running too slowly;
check voltage at motor terminals and
at meter while pump is running. If
low, see wiring instructions or consult
power company. Check for loose
connections.
10. Pump may be too hot.
A. Check line voltage; if less than
90% or more than 110% of
rated voltage consult a licensed
electrician.
B. Increase ventilation.
C. Reduce ambient temperature.
D. Tighten any loose connections.
MECHANICAL TROUBLES AND NOISE
1. If suction and discharge piping are
not adequately supported, pump
assembly will be strained. See
“Installation”, Page 3 - 4.
2. Do not mount pump on a wooden
platform! Securely mount on concrete
platform for quietest performance.
Use anchor holes provided in pump
base.

Limited Warranty
For UISFF () yearT from the date of purchase, the manufacturer will repair or replace, at its option, for the original owner
any parts of its pumps (“Product”) which are found upon examination by the manufacturer to be defective in materials or
workmanship.
Please call the manufacture at 1-877-278-2797 for instructions. Be prepared to provide a receipt, the model number and
serial number when exercising this limited warranty.
Purchaser must pay all labor and transportation charges on Products or parts submitted for repair or replacement.
All non-warranty service charges are the responsibility of the original owner. Failure to pay for non-warranty service charges
will void this Limited Warranty.
This Limited Warranty does not cover Products that have been damaged as a result of accident, freezing, abuse, misuse,
neglect, improper installation, improper mainteenance or failure to operate in accordance with the manufacturer’s
written instructions. All maintenance and service must be performed by service agents approved by the manufacturer. Any
unauthorized alteration or repairs will void this Limited Warranty.
THERE IS NO OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY. IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED TO ONE (1) YEAR FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE. THIS IS
THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR
EXPENSES WHATSOEVER IS EXCLUDED.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or do not allow the exclusions or limitations
of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations might not apply to you. This limited warranty gives you
specific legal rights, and you may also have other legal rights which vary from state to state.
In no event, whether as a result of breach of contract warranty, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, shall the
manufacturer or its suppliers be liable for any special, consequential, incidental or penal damages including, but not limited
to loss of profit or revenues, loss of use of the products or any associated equipment, damage to associated equipment,
cost of capital, cost of substitute products, facilities, services or replacement power, downtime costs, or claims of buyer’s
customers for such damages.
This Limited Warranty does not include freight charges for equipment or component parts, to and from the factory, services
such as maintenance or inspection, repair or damage due to negligence such as freezing conditions, incorrect installation,
nor acts of God. The liability of the manufacturer shall not exceed the repair or replacement of defective parts under this
Limited Warranty. This Limited Warranty also does not include unnecessary service calls due to erroneous operational
reports, external valve positions, or electrical service. If a non-warranty service call is made, and the homeowner is unwilling
to pay for the service call, this Limited Warranty will be voided. This Limited Warranty is voided if the product is repaired
or altered by any persons or agencies other than those authorized by the manufacturer. This Limited warranty applies only
within the continental USA. For warranty outside the continental USA, contact the manufacturer.
You MUST retain your purchase receipt along with this form. In the event you need to exercise a warranty claim, you MUST
present a copy of the purchase receipt at the time of service. Please call the manufacturer at 1-877-278-2797 for service or
return authorization and instructions.
